Hi. I have a system that was installed from a September 25 2.2-SNAP, and then cvsup'ed to -stable on the 26th (including a make world). I'd like to update the kernel with the latest from -RELENG_2_2 to get the LAND bug fix, etc. The machine is literally in the middle of nowhere (the artic circle) so getting to it is difficult and I'd have to install the kernel remotely and reboot the machine from 1000km away.... Needless to say, minimizing the chance of a problem with a new kernel is fairly important :-) So I'm wondering if I'll have any problems if I mix a -stable kernel with a 2 month old system? Will I need to rebuild any LKMs or things like ps, w, and so on?? I'm really hoping to be able to just "drop in" the new kernel and be done with it! :-) TIA for any suggestions, -Mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -UGU
